Ok thanks but that really confuses me. Was that factory? I'm trying to find out why this car won't start and I found that the previous owner disconnected anything that had to do with the emergency brake including the neutral safety and I see that there is a neutral safety on the transmission as well.Mine does. Also on my steering column
It's possible, but a warm wire is a bad sign. There should be no warm wires anywhere. Your idea of tracing the wire from the solenoid is a great idea. Do you have 12 volts on the battery terminal of the solenoid? You mentioned in an earlier post that the IGN. fuse kept blowing. Chase both wires from the solenoid and I think you will find a chafing or maybe even a short. At least it will lead you to where it terminates or has just been bypassed and that connection has failed. I found a bad wire going to my horn relay had been chafed through by a body clamp.I'm asking because mine does and I'm thinking it's a newer model and part of my no start condition.
The fat man slide is stuck and I can barely move it to the right.Mine can do a no start when tge steering column is shifted too far right.

Curious why can't I see that on any wiring diagram? I wonder how the 2are connectted?Yes it is factory. The one on ghe transmission takes a lot of abuse. When I dropped my transmission I replaced it. It was tricky getting it to work at first.
In my tracing I found a yellow wire that looks like it goes to the trans switch that fell apart. Maybe that's my issue? I'm going to check it after dinner. I have all the books but none of them show a switch on the transmission.It's possible, but a warm wire is a bad sign. There should be no warm wires anywhere.
